Discover why LAN testing is important for any business.
What is Local Area Network (LAN) Intrusion Testing?
Local Area Network (LAN) intrusion testing is an in-depth type of penetration test where an security analyst (ie, ethical hacker), with your written approval, will attempt to hack into your internal network from an outside location. They will try to access sensitive or confidential information. The LAN pen test works to identify security improvement areas that could allow an intruder to get access to information on your LAN through identifying firewalls, open IP addresses, routers, and services running on ports. By having a solid LAN pen testing strategy, issues with these network resources can be addressed using security best practices.
Why Should You Pen Test Your LAN?
LAN intrusion is a dangerous threat when you’re connected to a public network. Organizations typically need access to web apps and payment systems.
The problem is, if your customers and employees can connect to these resources, criminals can also attempt to gain access to them.
